Tour overview

As the day draws to a close, leave the busy V&A Waterfront behind and watch Cape Town’s coastline take on the colours of sunset. This 90-minute Sunset Champagne Cruise offers a different perspective on the city, with views of Table Mountain, the Atlantic shoreline and, on the return, the lights of the harbour.

Step aboard one of Waterfront Charters’ vessels and enjoy complimentary local sparkling wine as you cruise. Other drinks are available to purchase from the onboard cash bar. Depending on the vessel and conditions, the route may take you across Table Bay or along the Atlantic coastline. If the wind or sea is too rough, the skipper may choose a sheltered harbour route instead.

Your cruise departs from and returns to the V&A Waterfront. Vessel and route can vary, and departure times change with the season, so check your booking confirmation before you go. Arrive ready to raise a glass to Cape Town at sunset.
